Frank Aiken (13 February 1898 – 18 May 1983) was an Irish politician and a commander of the Irish Republican Army. Originally a member of Sinn Féin, he was later a founding member of Fianna Fáil. Aiken was first elected to Dáil Éireann in 1923 and at each subsequent election until 1973. Aiken served as Minister for Defence (1932–39), Minister for the Co-ordination of Defensive Measures (1939–45), Minister for Finance (1945–48) and Minister for External Affairs (1951–54 and 1957–69). He also served as Minister for Lands and Fisheries. Aiken served as Tánaiste of Ireland from 1965 until 1969. He holds the distinction of being the second longest-serving member of Dáil Éireann.
Francis Thomas (Frank) Aiken was born on 13 February 1898 at Carrickbracken, Camlough in County Armagh. The seventh and youngest child of James Aiken, a builder from Co Tyrone, and Mary McGeeney of Corromannon, Beleek, Co Armagh. James built catholic churches in South Armagh. Aiken was a nationalist, a member of the IRB, and County councilor, who refused an offer to stand as an MP. James was Chairman of the Local Board of the Poor Guardians. In 1900, on her visit to Ireland, he told Queen Victoria, he would welcome her only "until Ireland has become free."
Republican Army can refer to:
The Irish Republican Army (IRA) is any of several armed movements in Ireland in the 20th and 21st centuries dedicated to Irish republicanism, the belief that all of Ireland should be an independent republic. It was also characterised by the belief that political violence was necessary to achieve that goal.
The first known use of the term "Irish Republican Army" occurred in the Fenian raids on Canada in the 1860s. The original Irish Republican Army formed by 1917 from those Irish Volunteers who refused to enlist in the British Army during World War I. It was the army of the Irish Republic, declared by Dáil Éireann in 1919. Some Irish people dispute the claims of more recently created organisations that insist that they are the only legitimate descendants of the original IRA, often referred to as the "Old IRA".
The playwright and former IRA member Brendan Behan once said that the first issue on any IRA agenda was "the split". For the IRA, that has often been the case. The first split came after the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921, with supporters of the Treaty forming the nucleus of the National Army of the newly created Irish Free State, while the anti-treaty forces continued to use the name Irish Republican Army. After the end of the Irish Civil War, the IRA was around in one form or another for forty years, when it split into the Official IRA and the Provisional IRA in 1969. The latter then had its own breakaways, namely the Real IRA and the Continuity IRA, each claiming to be the true successor of the Army of the Irish Republic.
Irish republicanism (Irish: Poblachtánachas Éireannach) is an ideology based on the belief that all of Ireland should be an independent republic. The development of nationalist and democratic sentiment throughout Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was reflected in Ireland in the emergence of republicanism, in opposition to British rule. This followed hundreds of years of British conquest and Irish resistance through rebellion. Discrimination against Catholics and Non-comformists, attempts by the British administration to suppress Irish culture, and the belief that Ireland was economically disadvantaged as a result of the Act of Union were among the specific factors leading to such opposition.

Excerpts from Showreel of Actor Liam McMahon (as Paddy casey in RTE's Hidden History: Frank Aiken Gunman; Statesman)
Daniel Breen (Irish: Mícheál Dónall Ó Briaoin;11 August 1894 27 December 1969) Daniel Breen was born into a farming family in Grange, Donohill, County Tipperary. He was educated locally before becoming a plasterer, and later a linesman on the Great Southern Railway. Daniel Breen joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood in 1912 and the Irish Volunteers in 1914. On 21 January 1919, the day the First Dáil met in Dublin, Breen took part in an ambush at Soloheadbeg. The ambush party, led by Seán Treacy, attacked a group of Royal Irish Constabulary men who were escorting explosives to a quarry and two policeman were shot dead during the engagement. The ambush is considered to be the first action taken in the Irish War of Independence. Breen later recalled: "...we took the action delibera...

It's nice to see Aiken doing something meaningful with his life. Too many Idol contestant fall by the wayside after failing to make it big. Aiken was different in that he had a college education, thus skills to fall back on. In fact, he was en route to a career in Special Education when he did Idol on a whim. Contrast that to most top 10 contestants who focused on a singing career since an early age. As for politics, it's going to be tough. Being openly gay is not a good thing in conservative NC politics. Being inexperienced doesn't help either. For those who don't know, Ronan Farrow is the son of actors Mia Farrow and Woody Allen. Most people think that his biological father is actually Frank Sinatra. He sides with his mother in her battle with Allen. The 26 y/o Farrow was a boy...
